Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
The City could also kick the Comic Con organization out of the convention center and arrange for promotors of similar conventions in other cities to take over Comic Con in San Diego. The new promotor would have to use a different name of course. But it would be the same show absent the arrogant jerks who are blackmailing the City— August 9, 2014 11:19 p.m.
Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
I am saying Comic Con cannot move and the City has the organization by the short hairs. The City should demand 50% of the gross to use the convention center. U-T San Diego recently reported that the convention center needs $40 million to pay for deferred maintenance and the canvas roof is falling apart. The City needs to squeeze every dollar it can from Comic Con and they will pay up regardless of their hollow threat to move.— August 9, 2014 11:06 p.m.
Comic-Con cosplayer did not “fall”
If Justin Kalior is prosecuted and convicted, he will almost certainly face a stiff jail sentence and registration as a sex offender.— August 9, 2014 10:56 p.m.

Omega Man was also one of Heston's best.— August 9, 2014 10:43 p.m.
Oh, Hyphen Man, where are you?
There's already a Comic Con in Las Vegas. About the only place there's no Comic Con is Anaheim. The City should demand $5 million in rent from Comic-Con for use of the convention center instead of giving them a discount. Comic-Con is not going to move from San Diego. If there are too many attendees for the convention center, then organizers should raise ticket prices to cut the number of attendees to a reasonable number. Let the free market work.— August 8, 2014 9:30 p.m.
Cherry-picking a no-no
There's little difference between cherry-picking and robbing a bank with a gun. The theft of $10 million from clients warrants at least 15 years in prison. This appears to have been a sophisticated crime that required cunning and intelligence to carry out. One of his staff probably ratted him out otherwise he wouldn't have been caught.— August 6, 2014 10:42 p.m.
Cherry-picking a no-no
Honest Ian is finished. He couldn't get a job shoveling dung at a turkey ranch. Ian should get a job co-hosting Ray Lucia's radio show.— August 6, 2014 9:18 p.m.
Bucket gist
It looks like Bruton put his estate up for sale now that the LPL teat is dry. By all appearances he's been living pretty damn high off the hog. He's got real marble in his house. Not that Travertine crap like the rest of us have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-u41wTysV8— August 5, 2014 11:41 p.m.
Death of a thousand cuts
I am glad to see Fulton go. He was trying to ram density down San Diego's throat. I don't want to see anymore crackerbox apartments constructed in San Diego as the City was completely built out in the 1970s. By some estimates, one-third of the population of Michigan has already moved to Southern California. We should not try to accomodate or encourage more population growth from Michigan and other depressed areas by building more dog cages (apartments) for transplants. San Diego has always been primarily a community of single family residences and should remain that way. We don't have enough water and there's no room for these morons. We can't accomodate every midwesterner who wants to move here so s(he) can party and pass out drunk at the beach.— August 4, 2014 7:07 p.m.
Death of a thousand cuts
It appears that Briggs is willing to drop his request if the City pays him $100,000 and admits that his request for the emails was lawful. However, there's nothing in the proposed settlement that actually obligates or requires Goldsmith or Gloria to actually provide the requested emails. And even if Briggs goes forward with the lawsuit and obtains the emails, there's no guarantee that he's going to make the information public. https://sandiegans4opengov.files.wordpress.com/20…— August 4, 2014 6:58 p.m.
